@rohanarezel Comparing the rise of Trump, the fervent nationalism, the racism, the hate, his obnoxious personality... No comparison at all to anything going on in Van politics and I don't think it serves you to make comparisons like that.
There are no Asians on Vancouver City Council. Asians make up 40% of the city's population. We need to elect strong Asian women like @iona_bonamis on Oct 15.

So happy to have done an interview in my mother-tongue - Cantonese! My responses are also translated to Mandarin. Check it out here (don't mind the many ahs - the Chinese terms for city policies don't roll off my tongue as easily): https://t.co/4ok3oWbdXd

That's the NIMBY's primary opposition to zoning reform. Their primary concern is keeping non-white people out of their neighbourhood.
To #StopAsianHate ,they have to first accept that NIMBY ideology stems from fear of "white replacement".
The focus on foreign buyers, foreign money, foreign workers, foreign anything, has always an outlet for NIMBY's resentment against the local Asian population. It's centred around yellow peril moral panic.
The focus has now shifted immigration.

The NIMBY/YIMBY debate is falling into a reactionary war over nativism. I'm seeing anti-development sentiment succumb to anti-immigrant and anti-homeless (from elsewhere) sentiment. If your understanding of equity is to keep people out, you're wrong. #vanpoli
Colleen Hardwick wants to turn back the clock.
She wants a Vancouver that is less diverse, less welcoming.
Here’s the proof:
@CllrHardwick said her mission in life is to make a city for white people. #vanpoli (1/4)
"Canada should pass a digital accountability law that forces social media companies to clamp down on disinformation shared on their platforms."
